This time, it grovels for the sin of having had Texas Governor Greg Abbott wave a green flag at the All-Star Race.
I have no gay pride. I don’t have gay hatred either. I simply don’t care very much. It’s enough for me that our laws give people equal protection and most Americans no longer consider homosexuality a sin. And that’s probably enough for most people. And I bet most people, like me, dislike the annual barrage of mandatory love for the LGBTQ+++ crowd and especially dislike the industry that’s sprung up around confusing kids about their biological and then giving them expensive, mutilating surgery and toxic drugs. These same people almost certainly don’t make up NASCAR’s fan base. Corporate NASCAR, however, has decided to stand with the LGBTQ++ activists.
Last Sunday NASCAR held its All-Star Race at the Texas Motor Speedway. There’s a big NASCAR fan base in Texas. If you go to the list of NASCAR tracks, you’ll notice that the seating at the tracks is, on average, bigger in conservative states than in progressive states. Thus, the Texas Motor Speedway seats 137,000 fans while the Watkins Glen International in New York seats 33,000 fans. The biggest track, in Indiana, seats 257,325 fans, while the track in Portland, Oregon, holds only 30,000 fans. It’s not a perfect political alignment but it’s plenty close.
NASCAR fans are male, older (over 45), White, and live in the rural South or Midwest. Oh, and they’re much more likely to be Republicans. These are, on average, people like me who neither want to punish nor celebrate the LGBTQ+++ crowd and who support Texas’s willingness to define as child abuse surgical and chemical “gender” treatments performed on children.
NASCAR, though, has been having a bit of a problem keeping fans.

Maybe NASCAR fans can give Steve Phelps a free transgender surgery with a rusty machete.
Sports used to be about sports and sports alone. Now half or more of the “sports” stories I read or hear are about anything but sports.
They have no base anymore. Just like Star Wars, Star Trek, NFL and others. The base is gone. They have a shit product that the fans have left. Enjoy the suck. The NBA is about to return to the pre Byrd/Magic/Jordan days.
A friggen gas guzzling car race circuit trying to kowtow to the left is idiocy at its finest.

Hand writing is on the wall. The woke crowd doesn’t care about nascar or related. Just a matter of time.
Demographics is destiny and nascar....sooner or later. . Will either be no more or unrecognizable and a lot smaller.
NASCAR’s customers are the giant corporations that sponsor its teams and spend billions of dollars advertising on its race broadcasts.
This queer fetish started with Obama. The homosexual Obama has been pushing degeneracy in ALL professional sports, especially the NFL. It was his number one goal to fundamentally change America.
Early on, he said he did not like how NASCAR was too White. Something had to be done about. There has been a lot of activity behind the scenes, installing his own corporate minions to carry out his reshaping of America.
Now NASCAR is slowly committing suicide, along with all the other sports. May they die a terrible death!
No more Pontiac, Olds, Dodge, Chrysler and cheating as an art form. Drivers smoking cigarettes during caution laps and fistfights in the infield. Glad I lived through it but I haven’t watched that crappy modern product or patronized their crappy sponsors in 30 years.
“I have no gay pride. I don’t have gay hatred either. I simply don’t care very much.”
^^^^This is America’s problem. God hates sin. (Not the sinner)
Here is a Russian Spetznaz recruiting song.
Somehow, I just don’t see any USMC-style Rainbow Pride helmets.
Appears that Russians do not wish to become part of the Globo Homo Empire anytime soon.
It’s not the fans, it’s the corporate sponsors driving this. They don’t want trouble from the LGBT’s.
As of a decade plus ago, dead end sport Noosecar long been dead to my wife and I who spent thousands a year to go to races etc.
Good Riddance.
Pretty much nails it for me. Fun product when I was growing up and it was called Stock Cars, and there was a connection to what you could buy from a showroom floor. They sucked the fun out of it decades ago.
I don’t even care to hear about this stuff anymore. If people are too stubborn and too stupid to quit watching and supporting pro sports, you get what you deserve.
“I have no gay pride. I don’t have gay hatred either. I simply don’t care very much”
That was me too. Boy was I wrong.
Time to pick a side.
Good writer. Gotta remember her name.
I used to ADORE everything Nascar. The drivers, the crew chiefs, and the crews were amazing. Taking one half a pound per square inch of pressure on just one of the rear tires to adjust to changing track conditions was, yes, fascinating.
Even when they made every car look the same, with the idiotic pre-race template that each car had to comply, the drivers, crews, and chiefs still made it interesting. Strategic decisions, such as when to pit, how long to pit (2 tires vs 4 tires) gambling with NOT pitting near the end of the race, and trying to stretch out a tank of gas until the end. All these made it very interesting.
Not any more. They have taken something that filled our hearts with joy, and made it just one more thing to avoid.
